After the Martian Apocalypse

After the Martian Apocalypse: Extraterrestrial Artifacts and the Case for Mars Exploration, by Mac Tonnies, from Pocket Books, ISBN 074348293X. NASA spacecraft continue to send back image after image of the surface of Mars, providing scientists with an unprecedented knowledge of the Red Planet. But their conclusions are anything but unanimous. Blending a scientific detective story with trenchant cultural commentary, Tonnies examines the controversy, details the latest discoveries about our planetary neighbor, takes a critical look at the mounting evidence of an extinct Martian civilization-and why it is being ignored.
